Jon Gosselin Brings Roses to Successful Divorce Meeting

Jon Gosselin and Kate Gosselin could be about a month away from finalizing their divorce, after a successful day at the arbitration table in Pennsylvania on Saturday. According to TMZ, Jon won't fight Kate for primary custody of their eight kids and neither party is seeking spousal support. The two main issues still on the table are distribution of assets and child support.

The day began as many reality dating shows typically end: with roses. Jon showed up at court with a bouquet of long-stemmed red's for Kate -- a peace offering of sorts. However, she turned them down. His lawyer had a pop culture reference in hand when discussing the flowers.

"This has been called the real-life War of the Roses," Mark Heller told PEOPLE, referring to the 1989 movie about battling spouses, "and he brought that as a peace offering to break the ice and try to bring the war to an end."

The meeting between the 'Jon and Kate Plus 8' alums was so productive that a second day of talks, scheduled for Monday, has been canceled. The arbitrator is expected to rule in a month and Heller says "it's possible" the bruising divorce will be finalized by the end of the year.

More colorful talk from Heller: "Obviously before two warring parties can smoke the peace pipe, they have to sit down at a table and address the issues that brought them to the skirmish."

i agree jon is acting like a child but kate isn't exactly the saint she portrays to be either. both of them need to grow up & behave like adults & set some examples (if there are any left) for their kids. jon may have gone & acted like an ass in public kate sits on the set talking to the camera dissing him like its no tomorrow. someday her kids are going to see that & realize that not only did he treat her like crap but she wasn't any better by talking about him the way she is.

Even if you have experience on this matter, everyone's story is different. When you are hurt so deeply you can not just forgive because the one who hurt you is ready to do so. When he was ready to cheat and go crazy and now he is ready to make-up so it is all what Jon wants (he is control?) oh NO! He is such an immature person and this is all for the media and his self image to make money someday as a STAR NOT!!!!!

Why should she forgive him, and whose business is it whether she forgives him anyway? He has made a mockery of his marriage vows, created a destructive situation for his kids, spent family money on his skanks, and has tried to manipulate the situation by going on TV every other day to whine. He has publicly stated he HATES Kate. One day his kids will get to see all these things! Although Kate is not blameless, what else could she do with such a lazy and stupid spouse?

you know i heard the same thing going through my divorce... thats not christian like not forgiveing your abuseive husband that broke your nose and spit in your face every time you had an argument...so sick of people who claim to be christian throwing the bible out at others when they probably dont practice what it preaches to begin with.
